I am still on my old 3gs...I cannot wait until I am able to switch to either a Exynos 4212 or a S4 based phone! Tegra 3 looks to be to much of a hog for me. I think the 4 cores will be less useful than a higher speed dual core with proper video decoding and lower power usage.Reply

Just because a SoC has less cores dont mean it has lower power usage. The Tegra 3 has a 5th core that only runs when the phone is locked / not in use. And that core uses less power than any dual core SoC's that i know of.Reply

4 cores though. Who needs that? We need 2. One for everything except for the foreground application, and one for the foreground application. I don't see this changing in 2012. The higher clock dual core will have sufficiently low power usage. Yes, during idle T3 may be lower, but it won't matter.Reply
